Academics
Despite being a part of a large sports and research university, the intentionally small size of Fisher College of Business allows the school to create a high quality and personalized program focused on results and excellence. Fisher offers an Executive MBA, an MBA for Working Professionals, and a full-time program, and boasts top-notch Operations and Logistics and Marketing programs that attract recruiters from top companies each year. Students in the Working Professional MBA program and the full-time MBA program can customize a specialized niche of study to complement their general MBA degree, and students from all programs can cull from more than 100 elective courses to create an individualized degree.
“Everyone is willing to support the student experience,” and “learning takes place on many levels, from in the class, to around the pizza box, to having a lunch appointment with a local business executive who serves as your mentor.” “The administration, professors, and academic experience exceed the high expectations I set,” says a student. “I have been blown away by the quality of the professors,” says another. Most come from top-rated business schools and offer “an outstanding mix of industry experience and academic integrity.” “I wake up every day excited to attend school,” says a student. The administration offers students many options for electives.
Most of the assignments are dynamic group projects which “equates to many hours with fellow students,” and “the pace is quick and often times we’ll have a VERY heavy case/ work load in a short period of time.” This “frustrates many students, but keeps them sharp.” The work load “strikes a good balance of class work with external networking events and social functions.”
